Aim: The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of protective measures for infants of low-income SARS-CoV-2 positive breastfeeding mothers.
Background: Breastfeeding mothers with SARS-CoV-2 positive should avoid exposing the infant through protective measures (PM), but it could be challenging in a low-income population.
Methods: A prospective, multicentre study was conducted between July and October 2020 (BRACOVID).
Article Synopsis
- A pregnant woman with a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection gave birth to a preterm infant at 32 weeks gestation.
- The infant was isolated after birth but developed severe respiratory issues, ultimately leading to death due to multisystem inflammatory syndrome within a week.
- Genome sequencing confirmed the transmission of the P.1 (gamma) variant from the mother to the newborn, marking this as the first documented case of vertical transmission of this variant associated with severe outcomes in the neonate.
